Complex carbohydrates: Oats are a great source of complex carbohydrates, providing a slow and steady release of energy.
Fiber content: Both oats and apples are high in dietary fiber, which can help in blood sugar control by slowing down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Healthy fats: Walnuts add healthy fats, which are beneficial for heart health and can help to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
